Weather today is the same as yesterday but a tad cooler. I was correct in saying the temps would cool off from the higher pressure. The northeastern winds are the main cause of the cooler temps today. I've heard a lot of talk of rain for the next few days and my intuition tells me it will rain but just to be sure let's check out the wunderground surface map.
I looks as though the only rain we will be receiving will be patchy and not very significant but there is a clear trail of precipitation which will be pushed north by the high pressure. The stationary front from Canada down into Nebraska will move west just ahead of the high pressure and this is where most of the rain will come from if it manages to stay south enough for us. For tomorrow look for patchy rain throughout the day with similar temps. Winds should be changing as the high pressure moves in and that will keep things cool for a few more days.
